Rc.cleanup in 10.4?

Question

I do not have /etc/rc.cleanup in my computer.
Is it gone from 10.4? Or, am I, my computer, that is, missing something?
10.4.3 (iBook)
I am checking another iBook running Panther and it has said file.
Thanks

Hi Deivy,
   Always good to hear from you.
Written any good AppleScripts lately?
Hi Gary, thanks for chiming in.
No, no real new AppleScript scripts, some old ones getting some new display.
However, talking about new AppleScript scripts, I am about to start working on a teacher's swiss army knife with some new "cool" (<-- sorry) features. Do you want to help me with it? You have to basically use it.
Anybody else out there?
<div class="jive-quote">The cleanup of
/private/tmp at boot is now done in the /etc/rc
script, after line 104. It moves /private/tmp to
/private/tmp, unlocks locked files in it and adds
the new directory to the RMRF_ITEMS variable.
Everything in that variable is removed later.
   I think the "periodic daily" job
also does it "periodically". Do you have the
following in your /etc/periodic/daily/500.daily
file?
Yep! And I run the "repairs" script from my Applescript menu, so it is handy and I run them when I want.
Answering Michael, yes, I have 10.4.3.
if [ -d /tmp ]; then
   cd /tmp && {
   find . -fstype local -type f -atime
+3 -ctime +3 -exec rm -f -- {} \;
   find -d . -fstype local ! -name .
-type d -mtime +1 -exec rmdir -- {} \; \
      >/dev/null 2>&1;
fi
Note to self: I have to start paying more attention to shell scripting.
Now, I could not find the daily.local, are you suppose to create one, if you want changes ?
Also, Michael, thanks for the launchd links, I got it. It is nice to have a plist file to set jobs, however, can't one still use "at"? I love "at" .
Thanks again
